Description Type Default

Defines the type of manufacturing constraint to be used in Automated Topology Optimization Generation (ATOG). There are three options:

0 - No manufacturing constraint is specified.

1 - Symmetry using either 1, 2, or 3 planes of symmetry is specified.

2 - Extrude design constraint is specified.

3 - Additive layer manufacturing design constraint is specified.

4 - 3-axis milling manufacturing design constraint is specified.

The character variables: DISABLE, SYM, EXT, and ALM may be used in place of the numerical options 0 through 3. See also TOPTMANDIR and TOPTMANCORD.
